DEARTHUS MEMBER,

Greetings in the great new year of 2011!We stay hard at work here at TibetHouse US in the Flatiron district of the City and up in Phoenicia in theCatskills at Menla Mountain Retreat. InTibet things are dark and oppressivedespite the dignity and determined perseverance of theTibetan people. Due toshort-sighted leadership more than anything else, this same situation existsthroughout much of our world.The buddha-goddess Noble Tārā is invokedall over the Buddhist world to save people from eight dangers; lions, tigers,snakes, elephants, robbers, fires, floods, and “kings!” In the ancient Indian stelecarvings of the eight scenes, the “king” scene usually shows Tārā liberating aprisoner from shackles and breaking bars of a prison into which he wascondemned.OM TĀRE TUTTĀRE TŪRE SVĀHĀ/Tibetans believethat if you repeat this invocation with determined faith, she will swiftly cometo your aid!

Of course, focusing on our various looming catastrophes can lead tohopelessness and apathy, and short-circuit creative resistance.The mental yogaof pursuing the positive with wisdom and compassion, the essence of Tibet’smyriad and rich offerings, has never been more essential and even gains intensityby confronting head-on the negatives bearing down on us all living beingstogether.

The influence of the Tibetan vision of a better life through inner peace isspreading in small ways. A wonderful event happened this fall at EmoryUniversity where HH the Dalai Lama is a part-time distinguished professor,his duties consisting of yearly teaching jamborees, and also meeting Emorystudents in the study abroad program in Dharamsala. The Dalai LamaProfessorship at University of California Santa Barbara, The Dalai LamaCenter for Ethics at MIT, the Florida International University preservation ofa robust Department of Religious Studies, and the Stanford andUWISC/Madison programs in neuroscientific compassion research also allmove things in the right direction, serving as models for the education of theheart, not only the head and hands. They all have been supported by HisHoliness in measurable ways as well as by the work of our, you kind membersand us, Tibet House and others who share the commitment to bringingtogether ALL of the contributions of every human civilization to work on theissues and opportunities before all peoples today.

With your kind and generous assistance, Tibet House US continues tocontribute to the saving, restoring, and promoting of the precious culture ofTibet, by bringing its gifts, insights, sciences, arts, and methods to an ever wideraudience here in America.

We had a successful autumn of programs at Tibet House’s NYC CulturalCenter and upstate at its Menla Mountain Retreat.We held over a milestoneexhibit of Buddhist art, Out of Uddiyana, it was so successful. Our Art ofDying IV conference at Menla, co-sponsored by the NewYork Open Center,was much appreciated and well received. Our fall Charity Auction at Christie’scame off very well, thanks to the hard work of Lynn Schauwecker and ourstaff, and we were able to give grants to Tibetan Children’s Village, to theTibetan Community Center project of the NY and NJ Tibetan Association,to the Manjushree Orphanage education project in Arunachal Pradesh, India,and to other cultural projects of Tibetan exiles.

We received more generous donations of Tibetan art from Michael and BeataMcCormick, John Rezk, and Phillip J. Rudko, enriching the RepatriationCollection.We are proceeding with its on-line and print catalogues.We detailbelow the rich spring program of exhibitions and lectures for the CulturalCenter.

Thurman,Ishmael Bael (author), Deepak Chopra (The Chopra Center), Aldo Civico(Rutgers Center for the Study of Genocide, Conflict Resolution, and Human Rights),David Courchene (TheTurtle Lodge), Elizabeth Kucinch (Physicians Committeefor Responsible Medicine), Rabbi Michael Lerner (Tikkun), Anthony McMillan(Newark Downtown District), Clement Price (Rutgers, Institute on Ethnicity,Culture, and the Modern Experience), Anthony Ramos (Gay Lesbian StraightEducation Network),Wilbert Rideau (author), Laura Simms (performanceartist, educator) The Street Doctor (activist), John Taylor (Urban FarmFresh), AlynWare (Parliamentarians for Nuclear Non-Proliferation andDisarmament), and Marianne Williamson (The Peace Alliance).

The Newark Peace Education Summit will highlight peacemaking as away for individuals, communities and nations to resolve conflicts andproblems creatively. Through panels and workshops, the Summit willpresent Nobel Laureates, civic leaders, organizations, scholars and activists,from both Newark and around the country and world, who have usedpeace and nonviolence to educate youth, to create safer neighborhoodsand more satisfying and fulfilling lives for countless people.

Each day of the summit will consist of a plenary and workshops thatwill explore five main themes:

Peace Within, which will focus on how individuals can better managebehavior and emotional responses that can lead to violence.

Peace at Home, which will focus on how family can communicate betterand avoid situations that lead to domestic violence.

Peace in the Schools and Community, which will focus on how cities andcommunities can identify the root causes of violence, and how to foster abetter understanding between different constituencies within a communityso that conflicts can be resolved through non-violent means.

Peace in theWorld, which will focus on tension that escalates betweennations and government bodies, and how these tensions can be mitigatedwithout turning to military conflict.

Peace with the Planet, which will focus on how forming a betterrelationship with and respect for our natural environment is related tothe establishment of interpersonal peace

Newark was chosen as the site of the summit both because of its nationalreputation as a city besieged by the violence of riots in the late 60s, andcrime and gang warfare in recent decades, and because of how the city isrebuilding itself through innovative leadership and programs to reduceviolence and establish peace and prosperity

In 1997 Tibet House US produced a Peacemaking Conference in SanFrancisco.The conference focused on the practical applications of non-violent activism and in particular on how they could be applied tocommunities in the Bay Area.

Drew Katz began the groundwork to bring together Tibet House US,His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and Mayor Booker to replicate Peacemakingfor the City of Newark. The Drew A. Katz Foundation is dedicated tosupporting programs and organizations that provide a direct andmeasurable benefit in many challenging areas including but not limited toorganizations addressing medical, educational, social, emotional, andcultural needs of those less fortunate.Please visit www.newarkpeace.org for more information.

Newark is honored to host so many luminaries who havededicated themselves to the cause of peace, and have nowoffered to join with courageous leaders from our community inpursuing practical, lasting strategies to curb violence in Newark,and in communities around the world. True peace is the holygrail of urban governance, and I look forward to exploringsolutions to complement the policing, economic development,and other innovations that have brought Newark so far, but notfar enough.- Newark Mayor Cory Booker

Our goal with this summit is to look at programs, policies andmethods that communities have used to establish peace, whyand how they work, and how these practices can be replicatedin other communities in America and throughout the world.- Robert A. F.Thurman, President, Tibet House US

It seems that everywhere we turn we're surrounded by violence,whether it’s the violence of war, violence in the streets, thethreat of terrorism or the recent attacks we’ve seen against thegay community. But I reject the notion that violence is a naturalpart of the human condition that we must live with. There arepractical solutions to violence that we can learn and put intoaction.- Drew Katz, founder of The Drew A. Katz Foundation

Hon. Mayor Cory Booker Robert A.F.Thurman

Non-violence means dialogue, using our language, the human language.Dialogue means compromise; respecting each other’s rights; in the spirit ofreconciliation there is a real solution to conflict and disagreement. There isno hundred percent winner, no hundred percent loser; not that way but half-and-half. That is the practical way, the only way.- H.H. XIV Dalai Lama

“We’re keeping alive a very precious flame.” With these inspiring words,RobertThurman summarized the guiding spirit and enduring promiseof the 8th AnnualTibet House US Auction held at Christie’s AuctionHouse, December 6, 2010, in NewYork City. The beauty of Tibetanculture and strength of theTibetan people engendered a shared senseof purpose for more than 400 people who attended this year’s auctionand helped raise over $300,000.

Throughout the wintry evening, auction guests arrived, gathering inthe warm and elegant halls of Christie’s Auction House; sharing horsd’ouevres and convivial moments with old and new friends of Tibet.

A panoply of auction items adorned the walls and display areasthroughout the spacious James Christie Room: art by Rauschenberg,Ed Ruscha, Sheila Metzner, Patti Smith, Alex Grey, Bob Gruen, andmany others; beautiful objects by Gucci, Sferra, and extraordinaryTibetan art and sculptures; exciting travel destinations, such as Bali,Mexico, India, Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos; a Donna Karanshopping and dining experience; health and healing services offered byJivamukti Yoga School, Dayle Breault, and Jill Pettijohn; and rareopportunities offered by the Four Seasons restaurant and CityWinery.

The auction also featured a stunning collection of handmade jewelry,including work by Darlene de Sedle, Reinstein/Ross, Jill Platner, andMe&Ro. The shared sense of anticipation during Silent Auctionbidding was exceeded only by the tremendous generosity of friendlycompetition.

After bids closed for the Silent Auction, expectant guests were guidedto theWoods Room for theTibet House US Live Auction, hosted byRobert Thurman. With humor, insight, and compassion, Roberthighlighted the critical importance of preserving Tibetan culture,including Tibetan language, art, dance, song, and philosophy; hesummarized the genesis and significance of the original Tibet Housein New Delhi, as well as the work of other Tibet House locationsthroughout the world.

Sixteen-year-old singingphenomenon,Tenzin Kunsel, sang exquisite traditionalTibetan musicand played the dranyen; her talented fellow performers, Urgen DorjeeandTsering Phuntsok, accompanied her on the yanzin and peung.

As the echoes of applause receded, master auctioneer Hugo Weihebegan orchestrating the spirited Live Auction bids from Christie’svenerable auction podium. Priceless items included a cooking lessonwith award-winning chef Eric Ripert at Le Bernardin (with your ownparty of ten); a private concert performed by Philip Glass (a fete for12); an internship at Rolling Stone magazine.

The Menris tradition of tangka art flourished and survived inTibet forcenturies until its interruption by the Chinese Communist invasion.Ven.SangyeYeshi, who fled to India in 1959, helped sustain the tradition inexile, at the personal request of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Ven.Yeshi passed away in 2009.This long and rich tradition continuesthrough his students and school – the Institute of Tibetan ThangkaArt (ITTA) in Dharamsala.

Tibet House US is pleased to display works fromVen.Yeshi’s students,includingTashi Dhargyal – who helped him found the ITTA to ensurea high standard of training for future Menris painters.

The Menris tradition is characterized by clear outlines, strong colors,fine shadings, and its accentuations in gold. This exhibition offers aglimpse of classical tangka art preseved by a new generation of students.In addition to completed works, the exhibition includes a set ofunfinished works to illustrate the process of tangka creation.

Started in 1992, this growing Repatriation Collection of fine artcontains over 600 paintings, sculptures, ritual objects, andcultural artifacts dating from the 13th through the 20thcenturies. Tibet House US holds and safeguards these sacredartifacts on behalf of theTibetan people.

H.H. Dalai Lama. Photo by Don Farber.May 12, 2011 to June 22, 2011Alchemy of LightPaintings by Mary ConoverOPENING RECEPTION:THURSDAY,MAY 12 FROM 6:00 – 8:00 PMAlchemy of Light offers an investigation of consciousness, withlight as its primary metaphor. Alchemy refers to Jung’s theories onthe psychological process of transmutation through conflict. -Conover works in the tradition of abstractionists like Malevichand Agnes Martin, using art as an investigation into reality’sunchanging core.

Conover’s use of color evokes a complex state of sensualanticipation and symbiotic calm. The natural world serves as herinspiration. The paintings are constructed from the relationshipbetween the light of physics and an inner light, or pureconsciousness, both of which lie beyond space and time.

‘Light is a presence that illuminates and transcends representation.Of all sensory experience, the immediacy and raw intensity of lightbonds me to my subject in moments of intense being.’- Mary Conover

‘Light creates the world. It is the more subtle than gossamer substance of everything– ourselves, mind, speech, and body, all beings, visible and invisible, all universes,nebulae, galaxies, stars, solar systems, molecules, atoms, subatomic energies,inconceivable quanta and qualia. Itself it is the solid, the liquid, the fire and themoving wind, and all the beyond as well.’- Robert A.F. “Tenzin”Thurman

June 30, 2011 to September 14, 2011His Holiness: Photographs of the Dalai Lama,1979-2009By Don FarberOPENING RECEPTION AND BOOK SIGNING:THURSDAY, JUNE 30 FROM 6:00 – 8:00 PMDon Farber captures the life and work of H.H. the Dalai Lamaacross a 30-year span in this inspirational exhibition. Farber’sphotographs highlight the reverence shown to H.H. the Dalai Lamawherever he goes and captures the quieter moments that reveal theprivate individual and his compelling humanity. By following hisfootsteps through this photographic journey, we receive a rare viewinto the life of this beloved world religious leader.The photographsin the exhibition are included in Farber's latest book, His Holiness theDalai Lama, published by teNeues.

“It's really hard to get a private audience with His Holiness the Dalai Lamanowadays. Not that the great teacher, leader, and wonderful human being is any lessopen and accessible than he has always been. It's just that he's in such demand, andthe lines are terribly long. Don Farber has given us a great gift, using his consummateartistry to open a window upon the intimate presence of His Holiness at home, outin the world helping people, contemplating the ocean of life with his unaverted gazeof love and compassion. It is thus a distinct privilege and pleasure to spend time withDon's book, feeling so close to "The Presence" of the Dalai Lama in a leisurely andpeaceful fashion. With deepest thanks to Don Farber, I enthusiastically recommendthe uplifting experience of this book to one and all.”- Robert A.F. “Tenzin”Thurman

B A B Y ROOM AT T I B E TAN CH I L D R EN ’ S V I L L AG EThe Baby Room in the Tibetan Children’s Village (TCV), Dharmasala is themost closely looked after area in our facility. Unlike daycare and crèche, theBaby Room is unique in the sense that it creates a real family atmosphere wherewatchful caretakers establish a very close bond with the babies. Our goal is tomake our children confident and happy and not to be negatively affected by theabsence of their biological parents. Our staff in the Baby Room plays the veryimportant role of parenting to these orphaned children, giving each babyparental affection and love.

Tibetan Children Village celebrated its 50th year in 2010. It is one of thebiggest organizations for the care and education of children in the Tibetandiaspora. Admission toTCV is based on need with priority given to orphansand destitute children. Unlike other schools, there is no minimum agerequirement, permitting us to accept infants who are orphaned.We began theBaby Room because many orphaned infants were brought to us for admission.The Baby Room was therefore developed out of dire need and necessity backin 1961 when TCV was initially created. Many of the children that we havecared for return to visit us and have very fond memories.

We have the capacity for about 35 babies but in order to give maximumattention around the clock to the growing babies we limit the number around25-30.We have at present 27 babies and eight staff to look after them.

TheTibet House US oldTibet photo archive is being digitized and we expect to go livewith an on-line digital database this spring.

To launch the site we’ve chosen the Griebenow Photographic Archive. Marion Griebenowand his family worked as Christian missionaries at Labrang in EasternTibet from 1922to 1949. This collection of over 3,000 images is one of the few in-depth photographicrecords existing of oldTibet. While most other photographic collections capture passingfragments of Tibetan society and culture, Marion Griebenow remained in Labrang for over27 years and thus his photographs truly chronicle all the special qualities of the region.

The Griebenow archive is a valuable anthropological record of old Tibet and will givehistorians, anthropologists and other scholars and researchers unique insights into pre-1949Tibetan society and culture.

Minding the BodyJill SatterfieldThoughts and emotions are felt in the body before they are cognized in the mind, butin our busyness we normally don’t take much notice.We’ll explore ways to heighten ourawareness to the body’s signals and clues so that we become increasingly aware ofconditioned behavior and thought giving us the opportunity to change what we no longerneed, and to add what might be more healthy and productive patterns.This workshopdraws together fundamental Buddhist philosophical principles with meditation, yogaand breath work exploring the body’s unique ability to honestly reflect our heart/mind.SundayWorkshop, Jan. 23, 10:00AM – 3:00PMAdmission: $90 ($200 for both days)

TibetanYogas of Dream and SleepTenzinWangyal RinpocheWe sleep one third of our lifetime, an average of 20 - 25 years. Centuries ago,Tibetanyogis developed spiritual practices that use dream and sleep as a spiritual path. Dreamis a meeting place—life meets death, the past and future blend, practitioners can meetteachers, guardians, and guides—and the personal meets the impersonal.The practiceof dream yoga is done not only during the night—it is a practice that spans everymoment—waking and sleeping. Foundational practices, done during the day, changethe practitioner's relationship to all experience, developing strong awareness of thedream-like nature of life.These practices lead to lucidity in dreams. Lucid dreams arethen used for higher spiritual practices.WeekendWorkshop: Jan. 29 & 30, 10 AM– 5 PMGeneral: $150 /Members: $135 (Individual prices for days: $75 at the door, no discount)

InnerYoga: Foundation, Practice, and GoalFour Class Series with Dr. Miles NealeContrary to our mainstream perception, true Yoga is not about stretching, bendingand twisting the physical body, it is an inner science for harnessing life force andfreeing the mind.Yoga psychology answers the perennial questions:Why do we suffer?How should we live?What is the nature of mind? How can we achieve happiness? Inthis four class introductory level series we will explore the complete eight-limb system(ashtanga) of Yoga preserved in the classical Indian text the Yoga Sutras of MasterPatanjali.We will cover how suffering arises from the five mental afflictions, how tolay the foundation of a yogic lifestyle through restraints and observances, how tobuild a comprehensive daily practice using postures, breathwork, and meditation, and,how to understand Yoga’s final goal of integration. Classes will involve chanting,lecture, discussion, guided meditation, and study of excerpts from the sacred text.Recommended Reading: Stone, M. (2008).

ChangingYour JobWithout Leaving ItJoe Loizzo, M.D. Ph.D. and Elazar AslanThe class will focus on a Buddhist approach to work and how to apply it. Basic tothis approach is the insight that our true strength does not come from our powerover others, but rather from our power over our own minds. Research has shown theefficacy of calmness, compassion and inclusion in the workplace. However, ourtraining and habituated mind is more adept at creating a stress response, expressing

or suppressing anger and engaging in real or perceived competitive power struggles.By sharpening our awareness of what is really going on, strengthening our mind'sability to supervise our own hindrances, and increasing our capacity to authenticallysupport others, we change the dynamics of a relationship, team or organizationenough so that we can work less, get more done, and feel more fulfilled.Friday Lecture, February 4th, 7 – 9 PMGeneral: $20/Members: $18

ChangingYour JobWithout Leaving ItJoe Loizzo, M.D. Ph.D. and Elazar AslanThis workshopwill provide an approach and tools that will help participants improve theirimpact at work while reducing stress and enhancing purpose and satisfaction.

Going to PiecesWithout Falling Apart: The Buddha’sWayMark Epstein, Sharon Salzberg & RobertThurmanFrom the point of view of the ego, we can never do enough to build ourselves up. Nomatter how much power, wealth, attention, recognition or security we achieve, thereis always the lurking fear of it slipping away. We can easily spend our entire livesstruggling to consolidate our precarious positions in the world. While notdisparaging the ego's ambitions and fears, the Buddha taught a more reliable way topeace of mind. Rather than making ego strength the pinnacle of inner development,the Buddha found that ego-flexibility was a more helpful quality in navigating life'schallenges. This evening's discussion will center on the Buddha's strategies for goingto pieces without falling apart, on the replenishment that comes from releasing theego from its relentless need for self-esteem, and on the compassion that naturallyarises when the self learns to put itself aside.Friday, Mar. 4, 7 – 9 PMGeneral: $25/Members: $22.50

Practicing the LiberatingWisdomMark Epstein, Sharon Salzberg & RobertThurmanToday's workshop is designed to give participants a direct experience of the potentialtheir minds to relate differently to habitual patterns of emotional reactivity. Periods ofmeditation will alternate with discussion of issues on the interface of Buddhist thoughtandWestern psychotherapy. Howmuch psychic change can we expect frommeditation?What did the Buddha see as our potential? Did Buddhism ever evolve anythingresembling psychotherapy, or is that a uniquelyWestern contribution to the attempt toalleviate psychic pain? Throughout the day, we will continue to explore the vast panoplyof creative approaches taught by Buddhist teachers to make mind a vehicle for awakening.Suitable for those with little or no meditative or therapeutic experience, or for thosewith a great deal, these three noted Buddhist practitioners, who have a long history ofteaching together despite their differing backgrounds and orientations, will attempt towork through the common misunderstandings that keep people mired in confusion.Saturday, Mar. 5, 10AM – 5PMGeneral: $100/Members: $90Package Discount for Friday & Saturday: General: $115/Members: $103.50

Contemplative Psychology:The Science of Self-HealingJoe Loizzo, M.D. Ph.D.Grounded in the insights of the four noble truths and the practice of fourfoldmindfulness, the second class of the Four Year Program teaches the contemplativescience of self-healing based on the Nalanda tradition. Given this, the class turns tothe distinctive understanding of mind and its transformation mapped out in thescientific teachings (abhidharma) common to all forms of Buddhism. The focushere is on understanding how this scientific typology maps the journey from bondageto freedom in ways that allow practitioners to make tangible progress throughmindfulness, insight, and life-change.As for practice, the course guides students through the gradual, five step practiceoutlined in the Nalanda tradition: discursive learning, analytic reflection, positivemotivation, focused contemplation, and practical application.

A Shrine for Tibet : The Alice S. Kandell CollectionHardcover: 336 pages with 3 Page Fold-OutPublisher: Overlook Press/ Tibet House US

Tibetans regard a shrine in a technical way as a doorway into the enlightened world,a laboratory in which the structure of that world is designed, and a refuge in whichit is enjoyed and brought into the ordinary world to be shared with suffering beings.The Alice S. Kandell collection was assembled to create such an authentic TibetanBuddhist shrine room, complete with all ritual arrangements and equipment,according to the practice of Tibetan and Mongolian reincarnate lamas. TibetanBuddhist art can open our eyes to see the extraordinary world of enlightenment,imagine that it exists, and strive to awaken to its greater reality.
